Matthew 19 and Mark 10 and Lunch with Pam

Matthew 19 and Mark 10

I think the truth that stood out to me from today’s reading was stated in Mark 10”27: “Jesus looked at them intently and said, “Humanly speaking, it is impossible. But not with God. Everything is possible with God.”

When it comes right down to it, we humans are basically helpless. We are at the mercy of a number of things: germs, disease, other humans, and so on. But God is all-powerful. He is the Creator of the universe. The sun, moon, and stars obey him. We’ve seen Jesus turn water into wine, calm the sea, eliminate disease, and heal the sick.

Isn’t it wonderful that we can seek God and ask his help? He urges us in Matthew 7:7, 8 “Keep on asking and you will receive what you ask for. Keep on seeking, and you will find. Keep on knocking and the door will be opened to you. For everyone who asks, receives. Everyone who seeks, finds. And to everyone who knocks, the door will be opened.”

Tomorrow, we’ll read Matthew 20 – 21.

Lunch with Pam

Today, I drove to Bartow and had lunch with a dear friend of mine whom I used to work with at Rehabilicare. We had a great time. Pam is one of those friends that when you see her, you can talk as if it hasn’t been 5 years since you’ve seen her.

Until next time…
